Generative AI & undergrad CS education – S. MacNeil & colleagues | Computing education research
The advent of generative AI has triggered transformative shifts in computing education, leaving educators scrambling and students pondering their futures. Amidst this uncertainty, Stephen MacNeil and his team have observed a surge in opportunities for undergraduate involvement in research. Over the past two years, their lab has welcomed over 50 undergraduate researchers, with an impressive 73% of them co-authoring a published paper or poster.
Engaging in generative AI research has proven cathartic for students, empowering the students with agency and the ability to shape their own futures in computing. In contrast to the uncertainty in the classroom, student researchers appear to be more confident and engaged than ever. This talk will include some of experiences and strategies that MacNeil’s team has used to involve undergraduates in computing education research focused on generative AI, while showcasing outstanding projects spearheaded by undergraduate researchers.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a global nonprofit with the mission to enable young people to realise their full potential through the power of computing and digital technologies. Our vision is that every young person develops:
The knowledge, skills, and confidence to use computers and digital technologies effectively in their work, community, and personal life; to solve problems and to express themselves creatively
Sufficient understanding of societal and ethical issues to be able to critically evaluate digital technologies and their application, and to design and use technology for good
The mindsets that enable them to confidently engage with technological change and to continue learning about new and emerging technologies
